14. Chapter XIV

Bilan Mountain is in the south of Kongcia Mountain, although the two places are not far from each other, but the scenery is completely different.

The mountain is as its name, the mountains of Bilan Mountain are continuous, lush, and the mountains are full of clouds and mist as far as the eye can see, not like the world, but like the fairy world.

Su Xian and the others were walking in the mountains at the moment, and the mountain wind was coming in the wild, and the wind was soaked in the smell of rain and dew. The person who walked in the front was Jin Shuang, followed by the silent Li Bi, and she and Xiao Lan walked at the end with Xiao Chu. As Yao Lan said, the new disciples came, but Mu Shuliang and another senior brother did not come because of something.

Everyone walked all the way in silence, and Jin Shuang, who was walking in front, was also a little tired, so he asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while. Li Bi heard that he was meditating with his eyes closed, and wrote the words "don't be close to the living" on his face, and everyone didn't pay attention to him. Su Xian was going to sit down with Xiaolan everywhere, but who knew that Xiaolan stared at Jin Shuang who was resting under the tree next to her, and after hesitating for a while, she walked towards her.

Su Xian followed her over, called Xiao Chu again, and the two puppets sat down beside Jin Shuang, only to hear Xiaolan speak: "Senior sister, do you want to drink saliva?" She handed the water bladder to Jin Shuang, Jin Shuang opened her eyes and looked at her, did not speak, only waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it.

Yaolan's face did not change, and after retracting the water bladder, she looked into the distance, "Senior sister, how far are we to get there?" ”

"Over this mountain, and further on." Jin Shuang sat idly and had nothing to do, so he answered Yaolan's question.

Yaolan said again: "Does Senior Sister come to Bilan Mountain every year? Who is buried there, and why is the ancestor of the Empty Cicada Sect not buried in the Empty Cicada Sect, but buried in this place? ”

Bilan Mountain is not far away, but this place is too deep and secluded, and very few people will come here on weekdays, even if they want to pass through this place, most of the others will choose to take a detour.

Hearing Xiaolan's question, Jin Shuang saved other questions and only replied: "The one buried there is the previous generation of Zhiming Sect Master, that is, our ancestor. ”

"Shu Ignorant Master?" Yaolan blurted out.

Jin Shuang couldn't help frowning and glanced at Xiao Lan.

Yaolan knew that she was speechless, and coughed lightly: "Why is the ancestor buried here?" ”

Jin Shuang was annoyed by Yaolan's question, and his tone was not as soothing as Fang Cai, he only said: "This is the meaning of the ancestor himself, he has always been addicted to alcohol, he said that there is the best water on Bilan Mountain, which can make the best wine, and there are also the best people on Bilan Mountain, and he can't give up here." ”

"Master...... Also like to drink? Xiao Lan's voice was fluttering, as if she asked casually, "Could it be that the sect masters of the Zhiming Sect like to drink?" ”

Su Xian heard this, so he leaned against the tree and laughed silently, this person turned such a big corner, just to ask this question.

Jin Shuang naturally didn't know what Yao Lan was planning, and she said lightly: "Master never drank alcohol before. When she mentioned this, there seemed to be a vague anger in her words.

Yaolan smiled and asked in a low voice, "Then why is he holding the wine jar now?" Could it be that he was brought out by his ancestor? ”

"Master, he ......" Jin Shuang lowered his eyes slightly, and gently shook the sword in his hand, "He is trying to forget something." ”

"Forget jì?"

Jin Shuang sighed lightly: "Many years ago, Master was once bewitched by a cult demon girl, and he volunteered to throw away a qiē for that demon girl, and even lost his life. In the end, the demon girl got what she wanted, but she turned around and left, ignoring him, and he realized that he believed in the wrong person and loved the wrong person. ”

Yao Lan stared at Jin Shuang, her face unprecedentedly ugly.

Jin Shuang only looked down at the sword in her hand, so she didn't notice the strangeness of Yaolan, and she continued: "Later, when he returned to the Zhiming Sect, he couldn't cultivate anymore for a long time, and he couldn't fight with people anymore. His cultivation was the path of the heart, and that tossing almost made his cultivation completely ruined. Later, he came up with a way and cast a spell for himself. ”

"As long as he doesn't wake up for a day, he won't think of the demon girl again, and as long as he can't remember the demon girl, he won't be distracted."

Xiaolan bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was about to bite blood.

"Others drink to be sober, but Master is to make himself sober." When Jin Shuang said this, she couldn't help but let out a low chuckle, her laughter was full of mockery, and she stroked her sword and said, "If we see that demon girl again, we will never let her have a good time." ”

Jin Shuang's words came out, but he heard a sneer.

For a moment, several people focused their eyes on the person who made a laugh, only to see that Li Bi had opened his eyes at some point, he sat with his sword in his hand, glanced at Jin Shuang and said: "You said that what Shu Wuzhi did for the demon girl was voluntary, since he dared to do it, why didn't he dare to accept this result?" In the end, it's just that I'm not useful. ”

"You!" Jin Shuang couldn't help but stand up.

Li Bi got up, didn't look at Jin Shuang, and walked forward: "You're almost rested, right?" ”

Jin Shuang frowned and was silent, but when he saw Li Bi walking forward, he could only follow forward.

Several people climbed over the mountain, and when they reached the next mountain, they finally found the place that Jin Shuang said earlier. In this deserted Bilan Mountain, there is a house on the mountainside. The low hut was hidden by trees, and it looked dilapidated and dilapidated, but in front of the house there was a fenced yard, in which flowers and vegetables were grown, and it was well kept.

Jin Shuang led everyone into the courtyard, and then raised his voice: "Mrs. Yan, we are here." ”

As soon as her voice fell, there was a response from the room, and a woman who seemed to be in her thirties came out of the room, her sideburns were dyed with frost, and the corners of her eyes could be seen with fine lines, but her eyes were extremely beautiful, and her apricot eyes seemed to contain a deep sense of worry, and the hearts of people could not help but waver. I don't know what a beautiful person this woman was when she was young.

Su Xian was also looking at the woman, she was a little stunned, but it was not the same reason as others.

She thought the woman was familiar.

Just when everyone was staring at the woman and was silent, Jin Shuang had already opened her mouth and introduced: "This is Mrs. Yan Zhixinyan." ”

Yan Zhixin bowed his head lightly to everyone, smiled lightly, and Jin Shuang pointed at Su Xian and the others, "These are the new disciples." ”

She said everyone's name before she said, "Madam, we are here to worship our ancestors." ”

"It's also a shame that you have the heart to come to see him every year." Yan Zhixin smiled softly, his eyes flickered over everyone, he turned around and went into the house and took out a jar of wine and handed it to Jin Shuang, "This is his favorite pine wind, you can bring it to him." ”

Jin Shuang hugged the wine jar, nodded and agreed, so he beckoned everyone to go to a mountain road behind the house. Everyone followed her, the woman called Yan Zhixin has been standing in front of the courtyard and watching them go, the mountain road stained with morning dew looks a little muddy and difficult to walk, Su Xian walked to the corner and turned around to lead Xiao Chu, but when she turned around, she inadvertently swept her eyes across the courtyard, and saw Yan Zhi's mind gloomy, Wu Zi sat down in front of the flowers in the courtyard, the same pine wind wine was placed on the table, and she raised her head and drank it cup by glass. She didn't seem to like drinking, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she choked on her cough but didn't stop, but the more she drank, the stronger the smile became on the corner of her eyebrows, as if she had thought of something to make people happy.

Just when Su Xian looked at Yan Zhixin, Xiao Chu had already arrived in front of her, and her empty eyes made contact with Su Xian's line of sight.

Su Xian was stunned.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Su Xian could recognize that those eyes were very similar to Yan Zhixin.

"Senior Sister Su, what's wrong?" Jin Shuang's urging came from behind him, Su Xian sank his heart, answered softly, and then turned around and followed everyone.

The group walked for about a quarter of an hour before reaching the top of the mountain. There is an old tomb on the top of the mountain, the stone tablet is bright and smooth, it seems that people often come to visit, needless to say, everyone can guess that this Bilan Mountain is remote and difficult to walk, and the person guarding this tomb is the friend of nature, Mrs. Yan.

There are some words engraved on the tombstone, the handwriting is beautiful, and it is from the hand of a woman at a glance, and there is no title and identity on the stele, just the ordinary "Fan Yueran" three words.

This Fan Yueran should be the previous generation of sect masters of the Zhiming Sect, that is, Shu Wuzhi's master, their ancestor.

Jin Shuang explained the identity of the person in the tomb to everyone, and sure enough, it was no different from guessing, she first worshiped the person in the tomb, and then turned sideways to let the rest of the people come forward to worship, but Yao Lan has been in a state of mind since she finished talking about Shu Wuzhi, Jin Shuang called her a few times and her face was dazed, until Su Xian gently squeezed her hand, she suddenly said: "What's wrong?" ”

Jin Shuang asked her to hurry up to worship her ancestor, Yaolan nodded in response, and only halfway through, but she was suddenly stunned, as if she suddenly thought of something.

"What's wrong again?" Li Bi was already very dissatisfied with this trip, although he seemed to speak calmly from beginning to end, he was a little unpolite, and at this time, seeing Xiaolan's stumbling appearance, he couldn't help but ask.

Yaolan glared at Li Bi, but finally fell on Su Xian, as if she didn't know whether to say something or not.

Su Xian understood her scruples and nodded slightly.

Xiaolan said: "The person we saw outside the house just now was Yan Zhixin?" ”

Su Xian secretly said that it seemed that Shu's ignorance had a lot of impact on her, and she finally reacted at this point.

Seeing Jin Shuang nodded, Yao Lancai said again: "Is that Yan Zhixin?" The ...... who got married back then, but eloped with someone"

"Senior Sister Xiaolan!" Jin Shuang frowned and snorted.

Xiaolan was drunk by her like this, but her voice became louder, and she said directly: "It turns out that she came to Bilan Mountain, no wonder others can't find her, so the object of her elopement is ......" She said this, and couldn't help but glance at the grave in front of her.

Jin Shuang glared at her with an unkind face.

Su Xian frowned slightly, and suddenly thought that she had heard about this from Chu Qingjiu's mouth.

Yaolan looked at Su Xian and said, "That Yan Zhixin is the wife of the Chu family, the mother of Chu Qingjiu, the eldest young master of the Chu family. ”

Su Xian understood why Yaolan said these words to herself.

Jin Shuang's tone was inevitably angry: "Yaolan, the matter of the ancestor, it is not your turn for an outsider to intervene." ”

"Senior sister, I'm a disciple of the Zhiming Sect, and I'm not an outsider." Xiao Lan hooked the corners of her lips, just smiled and then sank her face again, "But what you should be worried about should be that Mrs. Yan, I heard the news, now someone has paid a lot of money to buy Mrs. Yan's life, and it is the ghost gate that shot it, how powerful those killers are, I believe that Senior Sister should know better than me, right?" I think they're going to do it, and it's probably only a matter of a day or two. ”

Yao Lan can always know a lot of news, and the source of these news Su Xian is also very clear, there must be someone from the Xuanyue Sect who is secretly passing the news to her, and when she heard Xiao Lan talk about Mrs. Yan's life and death, Su Xian thought of looking at the woman herself.

She sat alone in the courtyard drinking, smiling with a smile in her eyes, she should have been ready to die.

After Xiaolan said these words, Jin Shuang was silent with a cold face, but Xiaolan looked at Su Xian with an inquiring eye, as if she wanted to hear how she spoke.

Su Xian pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Go back and save her." ”
